Does anyone use analog processing between a DAC and SS preamp or between SS preamp and SS amp when the source is digital? To NOT keep the signal pure and add to already mastered music subtle distortion and drive, harmonic distortion, saturation "warmth"?

NOT for a clean as-is signal but with transformers to ADD harmonic distortion/saturation/warmth with analog processing?
No not via a computer, DAW, and software plug-ins. With hardware only like
XLR IN > XLR OUT
Warm Audio WA273-EQ
Rupert Neve Designs Master Buss Processor
Aphex Model 204 Aural Exciter
BBE 482i Sonic Maximizer
Ams-Neve 1073 DPD
any other type of analog processing other than a bass/treble knob?
